Narra is named after a tree species in the Philippines. According to the forecast, there will be showers and squally thunderstorms early next week. The city’s temperatures will rise from 27 degrees Celsius to 33 degrees on Friday. AdvertisementSelect VoiceSelect Speed0.8x0.9x1.0x1.1x1.2x1.5x1.75x00:0000:001.00x
